Description: Los Encinos Ranch is located in Northeastern Karnes County, Texas, offering an excellent opportunity for a small hunting or recreational ranch. The property features gently rolling terrain with sandy soils, providing good drainage and ease of access throughout.
Scattered post oak and live oak trees add character, shade, and valuable wildlife habitat, creating an attractive and functional landscape. The ranch’s size and layout make it well suited for hunting, weekend use, or long-term land investment, all within a desirable area of Karnes County.

Improvements: The property is improved with a small but functional double-wide manufactured home, suitable for weekend use or as a hunting camp. Additional improvements include several outbuildings and storage barns that provide ample space for equipment and ranch supplies, along with working cattle pens. A fenced 50-acre trap is in place, offering flexibility for livestock management, wildlife control, or pasture rotation.

Water: Water on the property is supplied by three stock tanks, one of which is known to hold water even during drought conditions, while the remaining two are rainfall dependent. City water services the manufactured home and improvements, providing a reliable domestic water source. The combination of surface water and city water enhances both livestock and wildlife use of the property.

Vegetation and Terrain: The property features gently rolling terrain with sandy soils, providing good drainage and ease of travel throughout. A healthy mix of native grasses and brush supports both livestock and wildlife, while scattered hardwoods and mature post oak and live oak trees offer shade, cover, and aesthetic appeal. The 50-acre fenced pasture consists primarily of regrowth mesquite and woody browse, creating excellent habitat for game and browse-dependent wildlife species such as whitetail deer, feral hogs and javelinas.

Wildlife: The ranch supports a diverse population of native South Texas wildlife, including whitetail deer, quail, and feral hogs, along with javelina. Migratory birds, such as mourning doves and various songbirds, are commonly observed, while the property’s stock tanks provide habitat for seasonal waterfowl. The combination of native brush, open pasture, and reliable water sources creates a well-balanced environment for both resident and migratory species.
